When local surgeons said there was nothing else they could do, Annie refused to give up. Her story shows what’s possible when expertise meets determination.

"Dr Millett has performed 2 shoulder surgeries on me including a latarjet procedure. The last surgery was in 2017. Before these surgeries, I was struggling with so much pain and shoulder instability. I can honestly say now my shoulder functions so well and feels normal! I have been able to compete in Ironmans, perform in a very physical job as a flight nurse, and can keep up with my busy toddler.

Before meeting Dr. Millett, our local surgeons, had said there was nothing else they could do for my case. I just wanted to express how grateful I am that Dr. Millett was able to fix my shoulder and I am able to live my life to the fullest. Thank you so much for your help! It has made a lasting impact on my life." - Annie Oviatt (Chronopoulos)
